Bellingham

[Rokeroar]

Really? he was terrible yesterday in my opinion

Had an off day, but been consistently good for us this season imo

Only Rusyn came out of yesterday with any credit, everyone else was utter dog

Gives the ball away too much, I agree he has talent but he isn't good at what is being asked if him

 

[DrewC]

This ain’t another hate thread, but can anyone tell me what he actually does well?

There is a reason Birmingham sold him to us

He was. But he has still had an excellent season. Everyone was terrible yesterday

 

[Sons of The Wear]

He’s 18. He’s the last of our worries.

What’s his age got to do with it? It’s a fact that his overall form and contribution does not warrant him being a regular in the first choice eleven.

It’s scandalous that his relationship with Speakman and Dodds, who are close to his parents, sees him chosen every week without fail. His form of late, and for some time, has been very poor. It’s that simple.

Back around Xmas I recommended giving him Xmas off in Madrid. If KS/KLD/SAFC aren’t careful they could wreck his career by over playing him. We’ve all seen it happen before.

Dear me, how many games do you watch?. That’s a stupid comment as it’s patently untrue. ‘Excellent season’? Some people man!

Bellingham has been desperately poor for as long as I can remember this season. I'm not criticising for the sake of it I'm stating a fact, I hope he comes good but he needs taking out the equation for the time being.

 

[stubber]

There in lies the problem, I can’t take anyone seriously who thinks he has no qualities at all

Answer the lad’s question man instead of playing the Tory minister on Newsnight.

It's all about opinions. I think Neil is one of our best players

Mostly played out of position the knars

Answer the lad’s question man instead of playing the Tory minister on Newsnight.

… Is this the politics forum?
If the lad can’t offer up a balanced view on him Iam really not interested in engaging, is that ok?

It’s his dad driving it, allegedly. Following formula that worked for his brother.

It’s madness that people can’t see he needs a rest. Mentally, rather than physically. He even showed it himself by playing vastly better as a substitute.

That’s not good to hear.

Why should a players dad dictate game time? Rubbish imo

 

[Wearside2Wrwkshire]

This is the biggest issue but he's got that issue when he's playing a position that needs someone sharp and quick witted, absolutely ruins our attacks by slowing the play down. Always wants to either back into his man or pass the ball backwards.

That's why he's a 9 or nothing for me.
The way he backs in lends itself well to a good hold up player & he's shown with his goals he knows where the net is. I've seen some promise when he's played cf & occupied the cb's but I've not seen him do a single thing all season to suggest he's a midfielder. As you say he's not sharp enough to be a 10, doesn't work hard enough to be an 8 & doesn't have the intelligence to be a 6.
Even if we was willing to play 9 I'd still keep him out for a spell, Ideally until the end of the season.

 

[Father Larry Duff]

Its not just his lack of pace either, it's his decision making. So slow on the ball. I honestly don't think he'll ever make it above championship level.
